    12/20/24 me and my girlfriends had our annual Christmas gathering and we choose to have a dinner setting this year and Itta Bena was on my TOP list to try something different with the ambience. The food was AMAZING!!! It was so good and quality worth. I had the stuff shrimp for appetizer and my entree was the Tomahawk Pork Chop with sweet potatoes and brussels sprout and it was soooo good and plenty. I also had a glass of Merlot with Beringer being the maker and it was good as well. WE tried the short ribs, chicken and lamb chops also and they were pleasantly pleased as well. Definitely will be going back and our server i think her name "Jackie"? she was fantastic....

    The concept of this restaurant is fantastic if you’re one that usually can’t make up your mind on what to eat. Little plates are served and nicely presented. Also wine or whiskey comes in flights. You can close as many as you would like but 3 is a good choice. Unfortunately, we didn’t have room for dessert but we’ll be back next time we are in the area. Such a great variety of meats and they had my favorite dish: chicken and waffles. The chicken was sooo tender! Everything was delicious and the service from Reece was impeccable.

    Loved everything about BB King’s! The reservation process was easy and they greeted us with a smile, my mother in law had a walker and the assisted her getting to our table. Our server Rachel and her shadow Mya were so nice and helpful. The food was incredible!! Best Memphis pulled pork I’ve ever had. The portions were just right, not huge. The brownie sundae was awesome!! The music from the band was terrific! Great addition to the meal and created a very memorable experience. If your a tourist in Memphis, this is a great place to to go get a bit of Southern hospitality!
